A selection of 59 maps was accurately analyzed (32 from the sixteenth century, 31 from the seventeenth century, and 6 from the eighteenth century). They were selected by author, commitment, date, and scale, from among more than 1000 maps edited by Savi e Esecutori alle Acque (the ‘hydrographical’ service during the Republic of Venice) in the 16th and seventeenth century. The most representatives (7 from the sixteenth century and 6 from the seventeenth century) were georeferenced and redrawn. Finally, four 1:50.000 maps were created, picturing the ancient morphology and hydrographical network in the years 1550, 1600, 1650, and 1700, covering an area of about 130 square kilometers. Geographical information was compared with historical documents and geological, geomorphological, and geochronological data. Further comparison of geodetic maps from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century produced new maps with important information on the paleogeographical and environmental framework across two centuries, and particularly on the artificial diversion projects performed by the Venetian Republic, their effectiveness, and the geomorphological changes both related to human intervention and recent climatic changes.

Introduction The ancient hydrographical network and the geomorphological framework of the fluvial and coastal plain between the Livenza and Piave Rivers, located on the northeastern side of the Vene- tian lagoon (Northeastern Italy), has been reconstructed. The present lagoon constitutes a remnant of the old belt of lagoons that used to rim the northern Adriatic coast until the completion of land reclamation projects, which were started in the Renaissance (sixteenth century) and concluded in the period from the end of the nineteenth century to the second half of the twentieth. ∗Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] # 2014 Aldino Bondesan 262 P. Furlanetto and A. Bondesan The mainland of the Venetian lagoon underwent a complex geomorphological transformation triggered by continuous fluvial diversions carried out by the Republic of Venice, mainly during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, to drive the main fluvial outlets outside of the lagoon. The oldest maps, dating to the first decades of the sixteenth century, portray a lagoon that is very different from the present setting. The surface area was smaller (about 1/3 of the present surface area) because of subsidence and marine transgressions (Dorigo, 1983; Canal, Cavazzoni, 2004). The marked prevalence of fresh water or brackish water contributed to the rapid burial of large lagoon areas. The change to a more continental environment seems to have been triggered by marine regression enhancing fluvial sedimentation in the lagoon. Progressive sedimentary infilling of the lagoon is attributed by Venetians to fluvial deposition causing a reduction in water-surface area and canal closure. Tidal inlets narrowed and become shallower due to littoral transport of fluvial sands from the deltas belonging to the main rivers discharging into the sea close to the lagoon (Adige, Brenta, and Bacchiglione Rivers, to the south and the Piave River to the north). The result was a state of economic and environmental crisis. As a result the Republic of Venice began a huge program of artificial rivers diversions, lasting almost two centuries and causing changes to both the channels and mouths of the Po, Brenta, Bacchiglione, Marzenego, Sile, Piave, Livenza, and minor rivers. After work on the Bacchiglione, Brenta, and Marzenego (1507–1530), Venice began to divert the course of the Piave River out of the lagoon area on the left side of the river, to both prevent sand from being transported (thereby creating sandbars and shallow water) and to avert floods from affecting Torcello and Murano, causing serious damage to the lagoon. The four maps of the Livenza-Piave plain area (see Main Map) show, from the oldest carto- graphic representation of 1550 to the end of 1600, how the fluvial and coastal system changed during the two centuries when the greatest interventions took place. At the end of the transformations, not only had the hydraulic network changed radically but also the sedimentary dynamics and geomorphological setting of the entire alluvial plain, lagoon, and coastal stretch. 2. Methods The four maps presented herein are part of a wider research project called the Imago (Image Map Archive GIS-Oriented) Project. This project is primarily devoted to the implementation of a data- base concerning 350 historical maps of the Lagoon of Venice and its fringe (Bondesan & Furlanetto, 2012; Fozzati et al., 2012; Furlanetto & Primon, 2004; Furlanetto, Bondesan, Levor- ato, Rosselli, & Bertani, 2009; Furlanetto, Bondesan, Rosselli, Pacquola & Rasador, 2004; Meneghel & Bondesan, 2004; Fontana et al., 2010; Fontana et al., 2014; Francese et al., 2014). The ancient hydrographical and geomorphological context has been reconstructed using historical maps that were georeferenced and overlaid on available geomorphological maps and aerial photographs. The final goal was the diachronic reconstruction of the hydrographic and geo- morphologic changes in the Lagoon of Venice and its hinterland during the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries: the four presented maps show a part of the study area, in particular, the territory between Livenza and Piave. The project, which began in 2001 and ended in 2011, was funded by Magistrato alle Acque-Consorzio Venezia Nuova – Informative Service of Venice, through a pro- tocol with the National Archives of Venice. The latter has collected more than 100,000 historical maps and related documents, which were issued as fundamental documents for the decree of acts by the Republic of Venice from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, to exert administrative control over the territory. Esri ArcGis 9.3 was used to georeference all of the studied maps to the same coordinate system (ED1950, Gauss-Boaga projection) and integrate different supporting geodatabases. The main data Journal of Maps 263 came from: (1) geomorphological map (1:20,000; Bondesan & Meneghel, 2004; Bondesan et al., 2004); (2) geological map (1:20,000; Bondesan, Primon, Bassan, & Vitturi, 2008); (3) soil map (1:50,000; Giandon et al., 2001) and (4) a map of the archaeological landscape (1:50,000; Furla- netto, 2012). A comparison was performed through the overlay analysis with topographic maps from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century: the most geometrically accurate being the Topo- graphisch-geometrische Kriegs karte von dem Herzogthums Venedig made by Anton Von Zach in 1797–1805 (Rossi, 2005); the topographic survey of Auguste De´naix (1809–1811); the map of Antonio de Bernardi made in 1843; the Topographic Map of the Lombardo Veneto Reign drawn by the Austrian Imperial Royal General Staff made in 1833 (Austrian General Staff, 1833); and the historical National Topographic Map series (1:25,000 scale) printed by the Geographical Mili- tary Institute since 1861. We also made use of aerial photographs, mainly 1:17,000 to 1:33,000 scale, taken since 1943 and available at the Cartographical Office of the region of Veneto. The thir- teen most-representative historic maps were georeferenced, and the major landforms and geo- graphical information redrawn; through these analyses, four maps at a scale of 1:50,000 were created, depicting historic morphology and hydrology in 1550, 1600, 1650, and 1700. For the georeferenced maps, the root-mean- square error (RMSE)

  • Do the Adaptations of Venice and Miami to Sea Level Rise Offer Lessons for Other Vulnerable Coastal Cities?
    Environmental Management https://doi.org/10.1007/s00267-019-01198-z Do the Adaptations of Venice and Miami to Sea Level Rise Offer Lessons for Other Vulnerable Coastal Cities? 1 2 3 Emanuela Molinaroli ● Stefano Guerzoni ● Daniel Suman Received: 5 February 2019 / Accepted: 29 July 2019 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Both Venice and Miami are high-density coastal cities that are extremely vulnerable to rising sea levels and climate change. Aside from their sea-level location, they are both characterized by large populations, valuable infrastructure and real estate, and economic dependence on tourism, as well as the availability of advanced scientific data and technological expertize. Yet their responses have been quite different. We examine the biophysical environments of the two cities, as well as their socio- economic features, administrative arrangements vulnerabilities, and responses to sea level rise and flooding. Our study uses a qualitative approach to illustrate how adaptation policies have emerged in these two coastal cities. Based on this information, we critically compare the different adaptive responses of Venice and Miami and suggest what each city may learn from the 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: other, as well as offer lessons for other vulnerable coastal cities. In the two cases presented here it would seem that adaptation to SLR has not yet led to a reformulation of the problem or a structural transformation of the relevant institutions. Decision-makers must address the complex issue of rising seas with a combination of scientific knowledge, socio-economic expertize, and good governance. In this regard, the “hi-tech” approach of Venice has generated problems of its own (as did the flood control projects in South Florida over half a century ago), while the increasing public mobilization in Miami appears more promising.

To what extent are the ideologies of state communicated in public space? Can public confidence be sustained by extravagant building initiatives—or be sapped by their failures? These issues are, of course,as relevant today as they were in the Renaissance.Venice,in particular,seems closer to our own times than most other Early Modern states because of its relatively ‘democratic’ constitution, at least within the ranks of the rul- ing oligarchy. It was a democracy only for noblemen, since voting rights and eligibility for important committees and councils were limited to members (men only, numbering about 2,000) of a closed, hereditary caste. Nevertheless,many of the problems over decision-making ring true to modern ears.Indeed, it could be argued that the continual revision of public building projects during their execution is an essential characteristic of the democratic process. It has been claimed by architectural historians over the past few decades that ambitious programmes of building patronage in Renaissance Venice helped to communicate political ideals to the public.1 Read at the Academy 10 May 2007. 1 See,for example,Manfredo Tafuri, Jacopo Sansovino (Padua, 1969; 2nd edn., 1972); Deborah Howard, Jacopo Sansovino: Architecture and Patronage in Renaissance Venice (New Haven & London, 1975; rev.edn., 1987); Manfredo Tafuri, ‘“Renovatio urbis Venetiarum”: il problema storiografico’, in M.

Fishing has always been an important activity for those Venetians who live near the Lagoon, and it still enjoys an important economic and social role in the region. Over the last few years, however, the fishing industry has been subject to a profound transformation both in the reduction of the variety and the abundance of the species found in the lagoon, and in the change from a complex and well-structured type of activity to one which has become monospecialist, that is based principally on the fishing of the bivalve Tapes philippinarum (Adam & Reeve). The widespread diffusion of this bivalve and its considerable commercial value have resulted in an increased harvest, initially carried out by hand but now by more sophisticated methods which are capable of obtaining much higher yields.

  • The DAPSI(W)R(M) Problem-Structuring Framework Applied to the Venice Lagoon
    Master’s Degree in Environmental Sciences Final Thesis The DAPSI(W)R(M) problem-structuring framework applied to the Venice Lagoon Supervisor Prof. Piero Franzoi Co-supervisor Prof. Mike Elliott (Hull University) Graduand Marco Fiandra Matriculation number 868020 Academic Year 2018 / 2019 ABSTRACT Using the DAPSI(W)R(M) environmental framework, the multiple links between anthropogenic activities and environmental degradation within the Venice Lagoon have been qualitatively defined. This model aims to organise the available information according to a rigorous cause-and-effect scheme, so as to more easily reach a multitude of stakeholders, environmental management bodies, the scientific community and the public. DAPSI(W)R(M) is therefore characterized by a strong multidisciplinary, analysing the different aspects of environmental management (research, monitoring, policies ...) to evaluate and direct its work. It consists of 5 elements. Starting from the Drivers (D), in form of human needs, are inserted, discussed and compared various human Activities (A) that take place within the Lagoon borders, with a specific focus on sectors with a high "environmental impact". They consequently produce a multitude of Pressures (P) on the natural environment, which, synergically or not, produce State changes (S), negatively modifying ecosystem services, and therefore creating Impacts (on human Welfare) (I(W)). To conclude the process, a series of Responses (as Measures) (R(M)) are produced, which aim to improve the territory by acting on one or more other components, underlining the many feedback loops existing in the framework. Due to the high diversity and therefore complexity of the territory, the work primarily aims to introduce the DAPSI(W)R(M) framework as an approach methodology for managing the coastal lagoon environment, rather than exhaustively defining each single element.

  • 'Mappy' Imageries of the Watery City: the Cartographic Figure of the Venice Lagoon Across Epochs
    ‘MAPPY’ IMAGERIES OF THE WATERY CITY: The cartographic figure of the Venice Lagoon across epochs and media [Received August 28th 2020; accepted February 1st 2021 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.103] Tania Rossetto Università degli Studi di Padova, Italy <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: Adopting a cultural approach to cartographic repertoires, this carto-essay highlights the immense visual heritage of the Venetian Lagoon in order to extrapolate a series of ‘mappy’ images that have given shape to the cartographic figure of the city on water. In light of the current convergence of visual culture and cartography, and by adopting visual juxtapositions, the article evokes different cartographic variations of the watery city: from the city sitting on the sea to the city sitting on the lagoon, from the port city to the archipelago, from the maritime city to the (wet)landscape city par excellence. This contribution thus proposes a journey across a range of Venetian cartographic imageries, which include different media and epochs, as well as different genres and registers, from the majestic to the banal, and from the dramatic to the ironic, thus also moving across the different cartographic moods associated with the watery city. As Juergen Schulz used to say during the 1970s while he was investigating modern-age Venetian cartography, the map is not always a map: in past times, the map was often a vehicle for nongeographical ideas. Even today, maps are ideas, they are ways of knowing, thinking and acting, they hold cultural meaning and political messages, but also hopeful imaginings. Indeed, cartographic representations of and rhetoric about the Venetian Lagoon are carried out by different actors, thus contributing to a process of continuous re-figuration and de/re-centralisation of the lagoonal space.

  • Ramsar Advisory Mission N°94 Venice and Its Lagoon, Italy (2020)
    Ramsar Advisory Mission N°94 Venice and its Lagoon, Italy (2020) (including Ramsar Site N°423 Laguna di Venezia: Valle Averto) RAMSAR ADVISORY MISSIONS The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands requires its Parties to designate key sites as Wetlands of International Importance (‘Ramsar Sites’). Parties commit to maintain the ecological character of designated sites. However, Ramsar Sites can face a variety of challenges, including develop- ments in the agricultural, industrial, infrastructure, residential, tourism and recreation sectors; water management issues that affect water quality and quantity; invasive alien species and climate change. Ramsar Advisory Missions (RAMs) help Parties and site managers respond to threats to the ecological character of Ramsar Sites. They are a means by which the Convention provides technical advice for the management and conservation of listed ‘Wetlands of International Importance’ whose ecological character has changed, is changing or is likely to change as a result of technological developments, pollution or other human interference (Resolution XIII.11). RAMs may be conducted jointly with other multilateral agreements or agencies. Advantages of joint missions include increased efficiency from the perspective of the Party, when related international institutions are working together at a practical level, and increased authority and impact of mission findings and recommendations. JOINT ADVISORY MISSION TO VENICE BY THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE CENTRE, ICOMOS AND RAMSAR The World Heritage Committee is following the state of conservation of the property ‘Venice and its Lagoon’ in the framework of its ‘Reactive Monitoring’ process since 2014.
